P.I.T.C.H. Pit

The LATV Fest is NATPE’s home for independent content creators. We bring them together with agents and development executives under one roof to enhance networking and foster deals. To maximize this experience, we remind you that the P.I.T.C.H. Pit is:

Process Pitching is a process that starts with your idea and culminates in your effective ability to translate it onto the page and/or into a sizzle reel. The process demands that you know your project thoroughly as well as your target audience and the platforms for which it is best suited.

Informed Get in the know…and stay there! Read the trades and online industry news sources. Familiarize yourself with key players in the biz, particularly those gatekeepers and keymasters calling the shots. The NATPE VideoNuze (http://www.videonuze.com/) is an invaluable online resource to keep your finger on the pulse of the industry.

Team Work The LATV Fest is for YOU. NATPE is committed to producing an environment in which independent content creators can network, pitch projects, and stay on top of industry trends. Read your LATV Fest email correspondence and respond in a timely manner when requested. Be on time for your pitch appointments! Do your homework and come prepared to take full advantage of the entire experience we’ve programmed for you.

Content Content is King! All the bells and whistles in the world won’t sell a project if the idea is not solid. Take the time to ensure that your project adheres to the genre’s basic format.

Hit List Preparing to pitch means you also research the companies you plan to meet with. Beyond your guaranteed pitches, there are opportunities for additional pitches. Consider the list of catchers posted on the LATV Fest website and what they are looking for as a resource for selecting your hit list. Familiarize yourself with ALL the companies looking for your type of project so when opportunity knocks, you’re prepared to open the door.
